A PLEASANT AFFAIR.

On the ] 18th inst, as briefly stated in
our last issue, the friends of Mr.. A.
Gregory, formerly located here as Su-
perintendent of this division of the
G. T. R., now of Brighton Park, Ill.,,
took advantage of his presence in town
and rendered him a reception at the
Island Pond Hall. At an early hour
so many began to repair to the hall,
that when Mr., Gregory arrived, he
having been kept in ignorance of the
occasion except that he was invited to
assist in singing at a social meeting, he
found his friends there in such large
numbers as to indicate some unusual
occasion, especially as his entrance
was the signal for hearty applause.
The exercises commenced with a Sc
lection by Bigelow's Orchestra, after
which Gov. Dale on some side pre-
tence called Mr.. Gregory IN front of
those assembled and addressed him
substantially as follows:
Mr.. Gregory
"Where'er turned, some emblem still
Reused consciousness upon my track;
Some hill was like an Irish hill,
Some wild-bird's whistle calld me back"
Thus sang one of Erin's bards in a
lonely hour, as away from friends and
kindred but amid the memories Of the
past he recalled the friendships old
and the loved scenes of days gone by.
The once eloquent lips of Darcy Nc
Gee are now silent. His once warm
heart no longer beats "with a JOY
that's almost pain as it was wont to
do when its chords were touched by
the fingers of friendship. But the same
emotions still continue to move the
hearts of all the living. There still
exists pleasant variety of affections
the maternal and paternal softened
and intensified by looking down upon
the helpless infancy which are its OBJ
jects and source the filial which is
ripened and chastened by the veuera-
ton it has for age and strength to
which it locks up; the fraternal and
saternal which warns and glows in
mutual sympathy and dependence ;
the martial which is so sacred and ex-
elusive, and those of friendship SO
| strong that when sundered by treach-
cry or mistake make strong hearts
ache. Animated by blending or
suggestion of some or all of these your
numerous friends have sent me to you
on pleasant little Grand not to
make a long speech-not to make an
empty show of rhetoric-but to tell
you in plain and simple language that
they are made glad by your return
and your temporary stay with us.
They have directed me to tell you that
they remember and highly appreciate
the social amenities which you possess
and exercised in so kindly and genia
manner when you was with us
They are alive to the fact that com
paratively new settlement or town
feels the want and has the same long
ing for pleasant social advantages thai
a thirsty person experiences wher
awakening from slumber he or she
hears the rushing noise Of fresh waters
Your social qualities and the zest witt
which you engaged in the society ant
individual enterprises, aiming atmak
ing oil better and happier, have en-
deared you to many friends, and yor
can but feel happy in the warm and

HEAR, HEAR.

There seems to be no attempt by
the republican newspapers of the
country to boom any particular can
didate for the presidency, which is a
favorable omen. And it is very
doubtful if the preliminary cam
paign of 1884 is to be repeated for
1888, especially in Vermont, by
singing out some one of many
worthy men, and throwing mud at
Others equally worthy. Every blow
given provokes return of blows,
and these should be reserved for the
democracy. There is a disposition
at the present time to select the best
man, who will best unite the party,
and this feeling should be cultivated.
But, at the same time, the men who
are unreliable and have proven their
treachery on former occasions should
not be permitted to control party
nominations; and they will not be,
for the simple reason that men of all
parties have lost confidence in them,
and they are not to be trusted. The
republican party cannot afford to
stoop to any one who regards him
self as greater than the party. Give
us a true man for the nominee, and
true men to make the nomination.

The more highbrcd and spirited the

This Is toocommon condition Of many
farmers stables at this season, when
increasing warmth dulls the appetite
and makes soiled food doubly offensive
by its decay. Many a hard-worked
horse gets off his feed. rs il il said. and
grows poor from this cause alone.
More care should be taken ut this sea-
son to feed only what will be eaten

DWARF PEAS.

The dwarf varieties of peas arc not
so popular as they were few years
ago. People took to them mainly be-
cause the vines did not need the trouble
and expense of stalking. But they do
not compare in yield with the best of
the larger sorts. The little vines may
be and some times are covered with
pods, but they are not large enough to
hold u fun crop, and when once
picked the vine is done for. In the
larger vines there is more of sue
cession of bloom, giving longer
picking from the same seeding.

Where cornstalks have been fed un-
cut their long, woody substance makes
the manure not only difficult to handle,
but reduces its value very materially.
1t is hard work doing good blowing
with loose long stalks covering the
surface, and when they are turned un-
der the furrcw the effect on light, dry
ground is to nearly neutralizc the value
of the manure. In dry season
such manure does even more harm
than good. On heavy and rather wet
land these cornstalks may be beneficial
by improving its mechanical condition,
especially for corn. But where corn
stalks have been cut into short lengths
the stubs uneatcn serve an excellent
purpose as n manure absorbent. and in
this condition make good manure for
any crop.
